 		what have people tried in the way of rotating the image? sometimes it helps to look at it from a different angle, allows the brain to escape what it assumes about images.

just a thought.

The phone cable?


It's right near there. There's some yellow sticky pads and then some pink. I was playing with it in PS and all I could get out of it was a 3 or W

 		Ok, is there any thing true about the image? I mean most if not all of it is photoshoped. If It's all photoshoped what impact does that have on the truth of the image? Somebody pointed out a while back that the image of Voltron has be flipped. Maybe none of it's real.

With all these dead ends it makes me wonder if we're taking it too literally.

"Not an Alternate Reality Game" Maybe all these things are ways to escape reality. baseball game, computer, ARG's (ilovebees) reference, michlan man (driving), Tuna guy (fishing), cartoons, word puzzles, gardening

I'm not sure if this is heading any where, but may be we need to come at the problem from a different angle.

I think there is a list of some words and phrases that have already been tried on another thread.

...funny, the .mdb file with the same name as the the jpg turns out to be the jpg!! just download the file, change the ending from .mdb to .jpg and voilaŽ...u have the same picture!!! but why ist this picture on a gov-server?? and why camouflaged as a m$ acces-file???


What if the cubicle is that of a government employee?


Well, aside from the fact I'm pretty sure that's a Canada address, you could probably make a million tie-ins to Minnesota's Jesse Ventura.

we could also look into the file type this guy has it saved as, has anyone tried opening his copy?

LINK to info on that file type

 		The All-Star Game posters have to have something to do with it. The all-star game was in chicago (White Sox's stadium, Comiskey Park) , Frank Thomas plays for the Chicago White Sox, the address is registered to Chicago, what does it all mean???

 		Could just mean that gamem8ker is in Chicago, and that's the only cubicle he could photograph.

 		i am inclined to believe that the actual chicago references are not important, but i could be totally wrong. but that doesn't mean the baseball is unintentional. i mean, there really is no reason to have that much all star game stuff there. there may be a link to the solution in that, but it hasn't been found yet...

 		Could also mean that the picture was taken from a Chicago White Sox Employee. Anyway, I think this is all speculation and OoG unless you are going to relate a statement made by Frank Thomas about a game. Remember no game titles, Player names, etc... It is probably going to be a cryptic phrase.

 		i just tried to open the .mdb file from the gov server and it asks for a password to open. when i try a password, most likely it is incorrect, it says unrecognized database format. is this because its the wrong password or because it isnt a database, but a picture with the extension changed? not sure what to try as the password though.

 		Well, I just checked out that *.mdb file, you have to open it with Microsoft Access. It is unopenable, so I guess that the file extension was changed to hide the fact that it's an image.

 		Hmm...
Could the "All Star" references and all of the action figures point to some sort of old "All Star" type game (for example Mario All Stars or something like that)?

Any game containing several of those characters?

What's "true", as it were, is someone has to sit at that cubicle and work - rather than play games, watch cartoons/sports. That's about the only "truth" I see.

Reset reality, right? ^_~
